Abstract

Parazit istilaları, dünyanın her yerinde tatlı su ve deniz balıkları için ana zorluklardan birini temsil etmektedir. Enfeksiyonlar genellikle balıkların derisinde ve solungaçlarında bulunur ve aşırı parazitlenmiş enfeksiyonlarda ölüm gibi tehlikeli sorunlara neden olabilir. Bu çalışma, balıklarda ektoparazit tiplerinin tespiti amacıyla yürütülmüş olup, Fırat Nehri'nden 200 adet Coptodon zillii ve Razzaza Gölü'nden 120 adet Cyprinus carpio su ortamında bu çalışma için kullanılmıştır. Numuneler 2022 yılında farklı dönemlerde piyasadan satın alınmış ve seçilmiştir. Solungaç ağları kullanılarak balıkların toplanması. Balık örneklerinin toplanması laboratuarda gerçekleştirildi ve makroskobik inceleme, brüt iç organlar, mikroskobik inceleme-yüzgeçlerin ıslak kısmı, deri, solungaçlar ve gözler kullanıldı. Her iki enfekte balığın sonuçları çeşitli klinik belirtilerin varlığını ortaya çıkardı. Prevalans %65,6, Coptodon zillii'de %30 ve Cyprinus carpio'da %100 olarak tespit edildi. Gerçekten de solungaçlarda nekrotik alanların, ülserasyonların ve kanamaların ortaya çıktığını gözlemledik. Diğer vücut kısımlarında Protozoa ve Monogenean parazitlerini bulduk. Ektoparazitlerin tanımlanması yüzgeçlerde, deride ve solungaçlarda yapıldı ve gözlerde enfeksiyon görülmedi. Coptodon zillii'nin enfekte ettiği 4 tip ektoparazit vardır: Trichodina sp., Ichthyophthirius multifiliis sp., Dactylogyrus sp. ve Gyrodactylus sp. Cyprinus carpio yani I. multifiliis ve Gyrodactylus sp. Balık tipinin ağırlığı ve uzunluğu açısından P≤0.05'teki sonuçlar anlamlıdır ancak her iki türde de cinsiyetler için anlamlı değildir. Gelecek çalışmalarda farklı ortamlardaki parazit türlerinin tanımlanmasına yönelik modern araçlara odaklanılmalıdır.

Abstract

Parasitic infestations represent one of the main challenges to fresh water and marine fish all areas of the world. The infections are commonly found on the skin and gills of fish and can cause dangerous problems, as mortality, in heavily parasitized infections. This study was conducted to detect of ectoparasite types in Fishes, 200 of Coptodon zillii from Euphrates and 120 Cyprinus carpio from Razzaza Lake, were used for this study in aquatic environment. The specimens were purchased at 2022 in different periods from market and selected. The collection of fish using gill nets. The collected of fish samples was carried out in lab and used macroscopic inspection, gross viscera, microscopic exam-wet mount of fins, skin, gills and eyes. The results of the both infected fishes revealed the presence of several clinical signs. The prevalence was 65.6%, in Coptodon zillii was 30% and Cyprinus carpio was 100%. Indeed, we observed the appearance of necrotic areas, ulcerations and hemorrhage on the gills. On others body parts, we found Protozoa and Monogeneans parasites. The identification of ectoparasite were obtained in fins, skin, and gills and no infection in eyes. There are 4 types of ectoparasites were infect to Coptodon zillii, that is Trichodina sp., Ichthyophthirius multifiliis sp., Dactylogyrus sp., and Gyrodactylus sp. While, Cyprinus carpio that is I. multifiliis and Gyrodactylus sp. Significantly of results at P≤0.05 of fish type with weight and long but not significant for genders in both types. In future studies should be focusing on modern tools to identification of parasites species in different environments.
